Looking at getting grandstand tickets. Just wondering what the best seats were for a good view with plenty of shade ?

I have been to a couple of clipsal events and makes you think, WTF am I doing here. You only get to watch cars going around on the one corner or straight. The rest of the time is spent on watching the big screen anyway. Might as well chill at home with a few bevs and have the boys around for a barbie :D Way better then spending the money to get on the stands.

Meh once the first carton is down mate the atmosphere will be pretty much the same :P

If you just want to follow the race, staying at home and watching it on tele is the better way, but if you want the whole petrol head experience than going to the races is better. Pitty there is so much boganism at clipsal.

Yeah I disagree Kirshy - Clipsal is as much about {walking around admiring hotties, seeing displays of all varieties, eating too much and drinking too many Cougars}, as it is about cars. I love it!

I will ask around mate, not sure. Sled bought 2 of them off us, as Chops and Nikki obviously won't come anymore. But Sonia or Brownyn may not be keen, so you may be in wiht a chance. I will let you know.

I've got a good seat but can't see much racing out side of the GT's and I find the Podium is a good place to stand for those races, always good company up there, this year it was 4 grid girls and Murray Walker :whistling:

And Nightcrwaler and I were stars last year on the TV's... when filming the Model Parade we were in the front row

and here was our view

I don't know anyone with spare tickets, I gave mine up with you after last years.

My dad has found people for his spare 2 seats

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
